Before I left, a few people were interested in what I was going to eat. I don't want to talk about everything, but I do love talking about barbecue.
I went to Stubb's for their gospel brunch, which was a buffet, (see previous post for their sign). Good music, good food. I'm guessing this would be handy for Southerners--eating and a bit of church at the same time. (Click on photos to enlarge, and click again to get a magnifying glass icon to enlarge again).

| This was my first plate. Biscuit, gravy, some egg thing, sausage and lean(er) beef brisket. Now, I felt like the guy carving the meat was intentionally withholding meat, and I wasn't happy. Plus, I like my brisket fatty. Fatty! |

| This was plate number 2. This plate was a mistake. Specifically, the amount of food was a mistake. I added the utensils to give an idea of the size of the portions. That's a chicken thigh and drumstick and fatty brisket. The guy, this time, just started piling the brisket on, and I didn't want to turn it away. I didn't eat again for 7 hours, and even eating then might have been a mistake. |

| Whole Foods, the mothership locations (its world HQ because Whole Foods started in Austin), is huge and the barbecue was unexpectedly delicious. I had to go back again before leaving. That's brisket and some pork ribs, green beans and coleslaw. I regret not getting the beef ribs, but seriously, I didn't even need dinner..... |
Nashville tomorrow. I think I might eat just vegetables because I would really like a fresh vegetable at this point....
